Summary

Garfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, serving 424 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Sand Springs School District, which is ranked 247 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Garfield Elementary School faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.0% to 25.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 19%. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21% of Garfield students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 26% for the district and state. The school's performance for White students and students of low socioeconomic status is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma elementary schools.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Sand Springs district, Garfield Elementary School generally underperforms. For instance, Angus Valley Elementary and Limestone Elementary both have higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Garfield Elementary, ranging from 75.39% to 85.14%, indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
